[Question] How many Despharion?

I am seeing a few posts with a full team of 5 Despharion, but I'm wondering if that is practically necessary? I'm working on a co-op team with my alt, and am leaning towards 3 or maybe 4 (at most) for each team. I think there would be little practical difference between using fewer units other than a lack of full bind immunity (which is somewhat mitigated by an inherit, like dark dragon swordsman). The remaining slots would be a combination of useful machines, which include Barbara (both accounts), Escha (alt), and Castor (main). I feel this would have 95% of the efficacy of a full 5 unit team, but with 60% of the work to farm. Thoughts?

5 despharion is mostly just a trophy team but it is actually good(i've done all radar dragons in a3 now with the team) despharion is his own best sub tho since he gives u full unbindability, massive stats, low cooldown for inherits, useable base skill, and most importantly perfect damage consistency since all your subs have the same attack, making your radar dragon damage control incredibly easy

Thanks for the detailed reply! One of my main reasons for trying to make this team is because I don't have great damage control teams across both accounts (Myr and Liu Bei farming are terrible, Dark Athena is only ok). My main has a quite a few other teams, but nothing else compatible with my alt. You make a valid point about inherits and damage consistency. It's just taking a while to farm everything and I'll have to see how to consolidate Despharion inherits with Dark Athena subs :P
